I was reading an article about presentation tools on Mashable and it got me to thinking….Hey… I heard you sigh.. I do think sometimes… really….anyway… lost my train of thought…
Meeting and event planners need to do a whole “presentation rethink” because there is more to life (and conferences) than PowerPoint….. Some presenters want to use Haiku Deck, some Keynote, others Google, and some just want to show a website or even a PDF. What I am saying is, for many folks, PowerPoint does not fit who they are, and if your presenters cannot be who they are, their presentations are not going to be what your attendees want.
So my advice here is to live a little, spread your wings, find out about other presentation methods and what it takes for your conference or meeting to support them….and then support them.
Just check out this video from Prezi… You can just feel the excitement leaking through the internet!
